Joza Bayu is the creative director of GREY Indonesia. GREY Group is a well known creative agency, a 103-year old global advertising, and marketing company. I first know GREY Indonesia from one of my friends. She had the opportunity to be interning as a graphic designer in the company earlier last year and worked under Mr. Bayu's supervision. I had the chance to interview Mr. Bayu via email, which I asked for beforehand by messaging him through his LinkedIn profile . When he sent me back the answers, I was not expecting to be receiving it in a presentation form. However, I should not be expecting less from a creative director from a globally known advertising agency. Below attached are the answers Mr. Bayu sent back. Mr. Bayu and Mr. Rusli (my last interview post) have some similarities. They both stated that a person's portfolio has to represent themselves. The portfolio itself has to explain who you are as a person so that the people reviewing your portf...

Mr. Evanggala Rasuli is the lead creative strategist in a company called TADOtv in Indonesia. He works with an innovative team and is in charge of leading, supervising, and managing them in a project. I found Mr. Rasuli via his LinkedIn profile when I was searching for a potential creative strategist I could interview. I messaged him about the interview opportunity through his LinkedIn and asked him whether he would consider helping out answering a few questions related to his field of work. I was happy to receive his reply not long after, and I sent him the list of interview questions. The following are the questions I asked him and his direct answers. 1.    Can you explain what is TADOtv, what do you do in the company? "TADOtv is a creative content agency that provide services in terms of creative communication strategy and interactive video content. I work as the lead creative strategist, supervising, managing, and directing the creative team consisting of scre...

Josephine Karenina is the Brand, Communication & Digital Manager at PT. Hilti Nusantara in Indonesia. She is in charge of the online aspect of Hilti, especially the Hilti Online app. Earlier last year, I was working at Hilti as a digital marketing intern, and therefore I know a little bit of how and what Hilti is working on, especially from the digital aspect. I specifically picked Ms. Karenina as one of my interviewees because I want to share and show how different 'Digital Marketing' is in a global corporate company like Hilti and other advertising agencies. I was lucky enough that Ms. Karenina agreed to do a Skype interview. I asked her several questions regarding her job as a Digital Marketer, specifically in a very corporate company. Since I know that working in a corporate company is very different compared to an advertising agency, I want her thoughts and opinions on this. Here are the questions and clips of the interview. 1. What is your name, what do you do an...

Mr. Simatupang is an Indonesian documentary director, producer, and filmmaker. He is the founder of the Youth Leadership Institute, an institute that provides training programs and seminars in human capital effectiveness, media, communication, and youth leadership skills. He specializes in media communication. I first met Mr. Simatupang in Raffles Institute of Higher Education Jakarta, Indonesia during my years studying there. He was my Academic Research Communication Skills lecturer (ARCS). My friend (current classmate who was from that same ARCS class) Shannon and I were lucky enough to land a video interview with him earlier this week. Unfortunately, the video recording the interview was corrupted, and therefore we lost the actual footage. However, I had a short clip of us calling him that I will attach at the end of the blog. Since Mr. Simatupang is a filmmaker, director, and producer who had been in the industry for some time, we think that he would be a suitable candidate for u...
